There are a lot of ups and downs but I would say overall my daughter did get a decent education. I am impressed with how much she has learned. I like that they do yoga to stretch as a form of exercise. They get a couple of recess times to interact and play. My daughter has even managed to make a few friend outside of her classroom. There are so bad habits my daughter picked up but it's not the schools fault, it's the parents to those students. Overall I think the school was better than I expected when reading reviews prior to my daughter starting school.

I don’t know how you comment on the website about the school district for anyone who is looking to buy their homes in this district. I am a mom of 2 and I also went through Southeast Delco School District. Growing up in 1990s I was attending at Delcroft Elementary School which was amazing. Im 38 years old and my son(14) yr old, he had the same first grade teacher who has taught me when I was little. He is now 14 years old and will be going to high school next year. I just wanted to inform my advice and opinions to those who are unsure about the possibility of them moving into this school district. I want them to know from an honest parents perspective and truth about it. Delcroft Elementary is not absolutely a horrible place to least start your child off but it is not a school that goes above and beyond. The experiences over the years have changed dramatically it’s so sad to see and witness the downfall because of the destruction of multiple reasons. But As for my son going to high school next year, he will never step foot in Academy Park High and I write this with such sadness in my heart because my high school years were the best 4 years of my life and going there graduating there in 2004 was the last time I could say it was decent. I don’t know what happened why they have become so unsafe and horrible with not enough staff and teachers but I don’t see Academy Park lasting much longer the way the entire school is a joke. Education is absolutely critical for our kids and sending my son to a school where I would be constantly uncomfortable with his safety, the inconsistency of staff or help, he would never learn anything. It is got to be known and understood that this is not a school you want your child/children attending because their education level will decline and decrease severely and significantly fast. They really need to get it together with the help they desperately need but I personally give it maybe another year maybe 2 at most until they shut and close down. Because right now it’s a circus nobody is learning nobody cares nobody knows how to respect each other, it’s a mess. So please parents whenever you’re buying a house note the district unless you have the blessings of sending your child/children to private or catholic schools. Don’t let nobody try and fool you or convince you unless they experienced it before and witness it firsthand. Thank you for your time

Awful school because it has awful leadership. The leaders like assistant principal and principal are incompetent, just take their paycheck with zero accountability and do absolutely nothing to improve the school
